Terrible stay for family
We booked for 2 days but checked out within a day.
The rooms were smelly. The room phone were not working. The reception was very rude and unprofessional.
It's a wonderful heritage property in Pondicherry situated around a quiet courtyard with mango trees. The rooms are comfortable and well maintained, and its the staff that makes the experience excellent!

Close to Aurobindo Ashram and beach. No a/C in front room. Small toilet.
Great hotel with lots of character. Don’t expect a modern five star place but it was very clean and comfortable. WiFi worked. Shower was good. Furniture and decor was tasteful and in character. All staff were friendly and helpful.
The accepted credit cards.
The hotel is near the beach, the museum and a remarkable temple. Shopping streets are within walking distance. The botanical gardens are about a 30 minute walk.
The food in the restaurant is tasty but breakfast was limited in choice but still sufficient.
I would stay here again.
Nice host; perfect location - close to the ashram and every other tourists spots. The bed was uncomfortable but if your stay is for a day or two, it’s fine. Hotel needs some improvement.
We had a very good feeling the moment we entered the hotel. The place is good and the rooms are comfortable.Very "Happy to help" staff made our stay very memorable.
Clean and good small hotel. Many spots of tourist attractions are closeby. Market is adjacent, so is the Rajbhavan.
Hotel staff are all gentle and caring.
Good location, close to clean beach, friendly and cooperative staff, highly recommended

Charming hotel in great location, but shabby
Hotel du Parc is located on the junction of the French and Tamil quarters. Very lively and convenient for shopping and for main tourist sites. Inside the walls the hotel is calm and restful.unfortunately, the fabric and fittings are shabby, and really need an upgrade, although everything is clean and works properly.

We enjoyed our stay here. We were comfortable and appreciated the hotel's proximity to the Ganesh temple and the market but felt that it was a little overpriced.
The hotel has an excellent location, positioned partly in the French quarter and just a stride away from the Indian part of Pondy, so you really feel immersed in the life of the city. It's a comfortable place to stay with a good restaurant but it is the service which sets this apart from all the other hotels. They simply couldn't do enough to make us feel warm and welcome - oh and it was my birthday and they bought me a bouquet of flowers. Nobody's made such a fuss of me for years. I departed leaving a top I'd bought from Auroville so they couriered it over to the hotel where I was staying a few days later. I am full of praise for the subtle charms of Hotel Du Parc. it isn't as 'boutique' as some of the more westernised hotels here but it's lovely, charming and you can cross the road and be blessed by an elephant at the Ganesha temple.

Lovely hotel...but
This is a really cute hotel in a great location. It is old and I had a cold so there was some discomfort. The bathroom was dank and smelled a little moldy.
The restaurant was fine and the entire staff nice.
If you are looking for a less crowded, quaint little heritage hotel which is located close to almost all places of interest du Parc is the one. The complimentary breakfast is good enough; not lavish. And the dishes they serve from their restaurant are top notch. They also get you a reservation if you want to try out another place to dine. Hotel salguru right across the road serves good south Indian food. Please do try their ghee idli.Du Parc staff were extremely cordial and helpful and would go out of the way to provide any assistance they can. Vehicle rental is available close by. There's a flea market just outside the hotel gate!!Go for this place if you want a calm, interrupted which is still not-so-expensive. Yeah sure it does lack a swimming pool but you can take a dip close by if you are willing to pay-the front desk will guide you.

Not your luxury hotel
location is great. this is a quaint little hotel. breakfast was a bit skimpy and service left a bit to be desired. the bed was not very comfortable, but then again, I was paying for the location.
An absolutely beautiful holiday. The location is excellent. Walking distance from every place. The staff courteous. The hotel rooms are quaint yet comfortable. An amazing place..very easy on the pocket
Charming hotel, extremely well localed (walking distance to the sea, a Park and many restaurants and café).
Very nice rooms and great terrrace.
The only négative point si the breakfast which is more than basic but They are many great places near the hotel where you can Have a brunch.
Good cozy place with good location..in french colony and on fringes of grand bazaar and shopping area
.temple...so becomes hub and accessible...
Cute plaxe..helpful staff..breakfast was OK though..and it's not that important..
They served a lot but not the tastiest or freshest as compared to other bigger hotels..yet. o complaints...everything else made up
